Kristen Bell finds it “annoying” that her husband Dax Shepard is “almost always right”.
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard
The ‘Frozen II’ star has joked she thinks it’s infuriating that Dax has a knack for being “right” when they have disagreements, as she opened up on the reason the couple are so honest and open about their romance.
When asked what she gets out of being publicly open about her marriage, 40-year-old Kristen said: "Peace of mind with my own authenticity I think is the best way to describe it. And this is what I say is the most annoying part of my husband. He's almost always right. When I say almost always, I mean like really almost always. It's so annoying.”
Kristen went on to recall a point in her career where she had to do a long-form interview and was afraid she didn't have anything new to talk about, before Dax suggested she discuss her battle with anxiety and depression.
She explained: "And I was like, ‘Have I never talked about that before?' and then immediately felt weird like I shouldn't because I was in a mindset back then that I should be more presentational. Again, allowing the sort of culture to dictate what I was presenting, which I don't do anymore. I don't abide by that.
"I realised I had been presenting this bubbly individual and it just wasn't the full story. It didn't have the dimension and I felt this sickening wave of fraudulence and inauthenticity and I went on and I brought it up.”
The actress - who has daughters Lincoln, seven, and Delta, five, with Dax - believes people can learn from each other regardless of their status, and so wants to be open about her life so that others can find comfort or inspiration from her own experiences.
Speaking on the ‘Backstory with Jason Bentley’ podcast, she said: "You can ignore words but an example is so much stronger. I’m going to start being who I want to be on my death bed. I want to be the person who talks honestly and says, ‘I get what I present to you is not always the case.' If you're feeling that too, just know that I'm right there with you."
